On 9/11, I Memorialize My Heroic Cousin, Jon Schlissel, of Blessed Memory
By Debbie Schlussel
One of the almost 3,000 Americans murdered by Islamic terrorists was my cousin, Jon Schlissel. I’ve written about him on previous 9/11 anniversaries. I’ve also noted that, unlike me, he was a member of the ACLU and gay, and like me, he was a proud American and a proud Jew–everything Islamic terrorists (and most Muslims) hate. Well, except the ACLU part. We all know the Muslims, especially terrorists, looooove
On 9/11, Jon could have gotten out of the South Tower of the World Trade Center in time–everyone else in his office did. Everyone, except a heavy set woman and a man in a wheelchair. Jon stayed behind to try to help them make it out okay. All three of them were murdered as the Islamic terrorists drove the plane into the South Tower.
Sadly, Jon is one of the many Jewish-Americans who were murdered on 9/11 and put the lie to the Islamic BS that Jews knew about the attack ahead of time and stayed home from work. Jon didn’t get the “memo”.
And, despite his heroism, Muslims tied to terrorism are happy my cousin died. In 2006, I received this e-mail from a member of the immediate family of Dearbornistan resident Osama Sobhi Abulhassan, a Hezbollah-supporting Shi’ite Muslim who was convicted of lying to police when they caught him buying multiple cellphones in Ohio for shipment overseas where they could be transformed into IEDs:

By the way, how is your cousin Jon doing these days? Ouch. Did I hit a sore spot.
Yup, that’s the “Religion of Peace” that took Jon Schlissel’s life and that of almost 2,999 other Americans.
Jon and I were related back to the first Schlussel/Schlissel/Schlessel (we spell it different ways in English), a man in Poland in the 1700s, named Yoska the Holy One (a righteous, heroic man, who was murdered by the anti-Semitic Countess Tarnowski).
As my cousin Bruce Miller wrote:
For as long as the Schlissel Family and its extended family exists, Jon will be remembered by all on each and every anniversary of 9-11. May his name always be remembered as a blessing.
Jon Schlissel, Zichrono LiVrachah [Hebrew for “Blessed Be His Memory”].
